Asbestos Surveying - Eton Environmental Group Limited
Asbestos Surveying
Regulation 4 is a duty to manage and requires that a suitable and sufficient assessment is made of asbestos containing materials (ACMs) in non-domestic premises. An asbestos survey conducted by qualified, competent persons is often the most suitable and effective method of locating and identifying ACMs in a building. It is also a major step towards having an effective and legally compliant management plan. In an initial consultation with us we can recommend a suitable strategy and, if required, the type of survey you may require.
Management survey
A management survey is the standard survey. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect ACMs in the building which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition.Refurbishment and demolition surveys
A refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before any refurbishment or demolition work is carried out. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building if demolition is planned. The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach. A refurbishment and demolition survey may also be required in other circumstances, e.g. when more intrusive maintenance and repair work will be carried out or for plant removal or dismantling.On some larger sites a mixture of the above survey types can be used if different parts of the site have varying requirements. All our surveying staff are qualified to P402 as a minimum and our consulting staff are qualified as Certified Competent Persons in Asbestos.
